Some info on Society6

Displate has an excess of people uploading work, which is curated or monitored for size and sex based content, but not infringement, quality or commercial viability. They tend to have “stabled” artists who they promote and feature, so you get lost in the crowd.

They have one product, and it is reported as being of good quality. As an artist, the 45 grace period has issues with fraudulent purchasing.

No watermarking on their images.

Artists can order own work at a discount, and have multiple accounts (as long as there is a different email). Notable issues as well, is very weak support system and shipping has been reported as being bad.

Displate, even though registered in London, UK, is a Polish outfit that producing quality products. They are limited to a specific size, so designs are limited, and they also incorporate a weird commission ratio that displeases many of the artists. They are known for poor support feedback and is becoming rife with infringement cases based on their upload criteria.
